2. The Harbour Chip Shop, Portree, Skye

3. EE-USK, Oban
This fish and seafood restaurant couldn’t get any closer to the water, meaning it has excellent views across Oban Bay to the islands of Kerrera, Lismore, and beyond. They serve a range of seafood and fish, including a traditional fish supper. Photo: EE-USK, Oban
4. Quayside Restaurant and Fish Bar, Gourdon
This Aberdeenshire village is home to a picturesque harbour and the Quayside Restaurant and Fish Bar, which has been called a ‘little gem’ by TripAdvisor reviewers. Enjoy fish and chips with a sea view from the dining room of the restaurant. Photo: Quayside Restaurant and Fish Bar, Gourdon
